Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay;
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes.
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh
(Instrumental: Same Chords as the Verse)
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us for Heaven to live with Thee there.
(Instrumental: Same As Intro.)
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay;
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
